Archimedes' Screw

Archimedes' Screw is a simple machine invented by the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes. It consists of a helical screw wrapped around a cylinder, designed to lift water from a lower level to a higher one. When the screw turns, the water is trapped in the spaces between the screw's turns and is carried upward. This device is commonly used for irrigation and draining water from mines. Its efficiency and effectiveness in moving liquids have made it a lasting solution for various engineering challenges throughout history.
